    摘要: A connector assembly comprises a body and an elastic terminal position assurance (TPA) member. The body includes a plurality of contacts and defines a coupling groove exposing some of the plurality of contacts. The TPA member includes a hinge portion and a latch, and is adapted to indicate whether the plurality of contacts are sitting at designated positions. The hinge portion is hinged with respect to the body on one end of the TPA member. The latch is formed such that the other end of the TPA member engages with the coupling groove.

    摘要: A connector assembly comprises a body and a position assurance member. The body includes a plurality of terminals and a coupling groove exposing a portion of the plurality of terminals. The position assurance member is formed integrally with the body and is adapted to verify a position of the plurality of terminals when inserted in the coupling groove. The position assurance member includes a hinge portion enabling its rotation around the body, a head, and a reworking groove. The head extends in a cantilever manner from the hinge portion, and defines a locking portion insertable in the coupling groove to be locked and coupled thereto. The reworking groove is formed below or adjacent to the locking portion in the head and enables the position assurance member to be reopened as an opening tool is inserted therein.
